Prepare to be... mindblown! Kishi's subtle hints?

Ok, I know you will hate me for this, I know you will call this bullshit, I know you'll call me crazy.
That's why, I am making a call to those ones who are reasonable persons.

So, I've noticed this since Naruto in Kurama mode appeared, but I didn't said anything before just because I know some fans would jump in my head... HOWEVER, after researching a bit, I came with some back-up to my claims.

Behold! Lol.

As we all know, this is Naruto in Kurama mode costume.

Now, where have we exactly seen the filled round shape?

Ram, pam, pam...

Now, to make it a bit more clear...

Naruto Kurama mode, once again...

Haruno symbol.

And once again Kurama mode Naruto...

Now, before calling me crazy or anything, let's remember some things here and there about Sakura.

As we know, at the beginning when Kishi was explaining us about chakra he shows to us that it originates from the belly area, and coincidence or not, the one to explain to Naruto is none other than Sakura.

So basically he is saying that he inner strength comes from the belly area, the chakra. Also, later on, Kishi introduces the idea that true strength comes when you are protecting someone you care about. When Naruto fought Gaara, Sakura was the source of his strength all throughout the fight.
If you're saying to me that it's not true, let us remember this:

You would say at this time, nah, it's coincidence! But I wonder, is it?... How comes that when Itachi puts Naruto in genjutsu, symbolistically Sakura appears exactly from his belly?

I would say that this along with the fact that Sakura's clan symbol is on his belly seems VERY intentional to Kishi.

Also, symbolistically, Kushina's seal has a similar appearance during Naruto's birth.

Now I know all NH fans will jump in my head, but let's face it, Kushina is similar to Sakura so for once, please, just let your hatred home and let's be rational.

Before saying it has nothing to do with it, it is a simple drawing, let's not forget this: the markings of the Sage's necklace near Naruto's throat that reminds us of Itachi's necklace and coincidentally or not, Itachi's Susano'o as well as Madara's happen to hold that necklace.

So, what do you guys think it might mean? Around here and there, I found that Sakura's clan (?) symbol would mean something like a chinese symbol of the duality between heaven and earth and the connection between both.

Now, we know that in part 1, Iruka symbolistically called Naruto (earth) and Sakura (heaven).

Also, funny enough... Naruto is a city, in Tokushima... Guess what symbol has? The Uzumaki symbol within the Haruno circle...

Narutomaki (鳴門巻き/なると巻き?) or naruto (ナルト/なると?) is a type of kamaboko, or cured fish surimi produced in Japan. Each slice of naruto has a pink ( ) or red ( ) spiral pattern, which resembles the Naruto whirlpools ( ) in the Naruto Strait between Awaji Island and Shikoku in Japan.

Oh, about the belly thing, I reminded one thing more, in his fight over Kurama's chakra, guess who was helping him and through what area this battle was held? (sorry if it sounded weird) Yes, the belly.

Isn't funny enough that before that, in Pein arc, as his seal was broken, Naruto's Uzumaki symbol was breaking, transforming itself into a circle with that black hole inside, similar to the Haruno symbol?

So, what do you guys think?! Coincidence or not? We know Kishi doesn't add things for nothing...

Do you know something more that could complete this enigma?

Let's discuss.

But may I remind you, be polite! Any intent for flaming will be reported to the mods!
Thank you!

Well, since I first saw the design of Naruto's clothing in Kurama mode it took me instantly to Sakura's symbol and design in part one.
Look at it this way... On the shoulders both have those circles as well on the back only that Sakura's is on the bottom while Naruto's is on the back, a little higher on this back.

If you raise Sakura's circles a little bit higher and connect the circles it looks extreeeeeemely similar to Naruto's cloak in Kurama mode, don't you think?

I am not trying to create a link, I am just seeing one and trying to comprehend if it means something? That's why I asked for people's opinion and if they know more about symbolism and things like that.

Heh, thanks! ^^
Well, when I say to people that they've been hinted all along the manga, they say no, even though there's proof on the entire manga. Even 540 is a proof. Everyone sees it like she's still in love with him, I say she's getting over it, but meh, don't wanna be turning this into a pairing war thread.
I am more interested in the symbolism, theories, meanings, stuff like that.

Oh, lol. :D

Nah. I just think that's part of the design. To be honest. As for the ramen. Jiraiya named Naruto after his bowl of ramen.

Even though the Content was still top notch and an entertaining read. I don't spot nothing interesting here at all though. It would be nice to see some Sakura foreshadowing.

Dude, this is not about power-scales and anything like that, stop trying to turn it into something that's not.
Well, don't blame me for the circles, blame Kishi's design. And honestly, you think design has nothing to do with it when it clearly shows us it has? Well, that's your view and you're entitled to your opinion, nevertheless.
Yes, I know about the ramen stuff in Naruto, but let's not forget that Kishi's manga is built on symbolism, theories, mythology and all the stuff like that.

Well, at least glad you enjoyed the reading. Even if to you it's not foreshadowing, to me it is.
But everyone has their own opinions and are entitled to their opinions, so I guess it's ok.

Uhm, I kinda don't understand what you meant about the skimming thing, however, yes, Sakura is one of my favourites along with Tsunade, Itachi, Nagato, Kakashi etc, but at least, when I claim something, I like to claim it backed-up by facts, not "just because I say so", if you get what I mean.
